Hey..

My preheater lamp turned on again just seconds after i started the car.. and was on for a minute or more..

Yo...

You have one or more heaters (glow plugs) that have failed. Test them, and replace those which have failed.

why-not,

I have seen the dash GP light come on for no reason and also for it not to work at all intermittantly in a system with all good GP. I don't know why this happens but as long as the engine starts OK, I don't worry about it.

If the GP light blinks after engine startes, it is an indication of an open (inoperative) GP. THen the bad GP should be replaced.
